Good day ,I have a Hotpoint Quadrio about 8 year old ,worked fine but now fridge is only staying at 13c , i’ve checked the fan in the freezer and all working ok ,freezer still working but the cold air doesn’t seem to be circulated back up to fridge enough ,I can feel the cold air circulating in freezer no problem but very faintly into fridge ,also checked for obstructions but nothing ?
hi @jock011 , Don’t know the fridge but looking at the parts the evaporator fan feeds straight up into the refrigerator via the duct section through what is called a sponge?? (see part #36 - click on right side parts diagram) and there is a return airflow vent in the refrigerator. So really not much preventing airflow into the refrigerator. Have you checked that the refrigerator compartment door seals are OK? Place a sheet of paper between the door and the door jamb and close the door. Try to pull out the paper. It will come out but not easily and should not just fall out. Try this a various locations around the door. Top, bottom and both sides. If the seal is not good in one section, you can try warming it using a hair dryer (cool setting only) and manually shape the seal so that it seals properly. Just curious, did you measure the freezer temp, you didn’t say? If the freezer is not getting to its’ correct temperature then the refrigerator won’t either
